My name is Brandon. My fiance, Lindsay, and I are looking to have our wedding/reception at Belhurst next october. We are expecting a pretty large group, 200-230 people. We understand that if the ceremony is indoors they would move table around after the ceremony, while guests have drinks outside. Is this what you had to do, we are concerned how it might look with them trying to set up things while the guests are there. Is there any insight you can give us. Thanks.

Our wedding was in November so we didn't even have the choice of having drinks outside while they were moving. We had absolutely no problems with it. The staff are really great and all tables were moved in a flash. I think it would be great for guests to be able to go outside for drinks but I wouldn't worry about the tables. The tables were not distracting during the ceremony and we had no complaints from our guests about having to wait for tables to be set up. everyone is too busy eating appetizers and having drinks anyways. Hope this helps! Good luck with planning. Belhurst is an absolutely beautiful place and pictures come out incredible! Congrats on the wedding.

Response:Thank you very much for your response. Its always easy for people that work for the venue to tell you everything will be ok but its feels a lot better when you have someone that actually been through it. I think we are really going to go forward with everything. Thanks again.

Cakes/Candies Vendor:

"Chris did a fabulous job with our wedding cake. It was delicious and our guests still comment on how good it was. We asked if she would be able to put our monogram that I myself created and she sure did. The cake was beautifully decorated. If you are having a wedding in the Fingerlakes I would highly suggest Chris!"

DJ:

"DJ Stu was great! We didn't create a playlist and just let Stu read the crowd and play what he felt would get everyone dancing and the floor was full the entire night. Stu also provided the music and microphone for our ceremony. He has great prices for the quality of work he provides."

Florist:

"I told Rachel what I liked flower wise and she created the most beautiful bouquets for myself and my girls. She also made my centerpieces and they were just breathtaking. We allowed our guests to take the centerpieces home at the end of the night and they were all running around trying to get one. Rachel does a great job and the quality of flowers and work she provides is superb! Again if you are having a wedding in the finger lakes I would suggest hiring her!!"

Photographer:

"David was great to work with! He took great shots all night and the details of the wedding. I did not request any specific poses or pictures but he must have read my mind because he took pictures of everything I wanted. They were beatiful and his picture packages are very reasonable for the quality of work he provides. He is from the Buffalo, NY area but he traveled all the way to Geneva, NY for us so his work range covers a ton. Hire him and you won't regret it. He captures all the important parts of your wedding/reception!"

Ceremony:

"We fell in love with Belhurst when we saw it and knew this was the place to get married. We do not regret the decision in any way. Carmen was a pleasure to work with and she has been in the business for a long time so she knows her stuff! We were very impressed with how organized and committed she is to her job. The food was excellent..Top Notch! The service was great. We have no complaints about Belhurst and absolutely recommend this venue for anyone!"
